WiFi
Wi-Fi, is a modern wireless networking technology that enables devices to communicate and access the internet without physical connections, using radio waves. It operates primarily on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, with newer standards supporting 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) for faster speeds and lower latency. Wi-Fi is integral in enabling highspeed internet in various devices like smartphones, laptops, smart home systems, and IoT devices, facilitating seamless connectivity and mobility.
Major Devices in the Wi-Fi Ecosystem.
Wi-Fi Routers – Central devices that provide internet access by routing traffic between local devices and external networks. Modern routers support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for higher throughput, better range, and improved network efficiency.
Mesh Wi-Fi Systems – Devices that work together to provide whole home coverage. They create a seamless roaming experience, with self healing networks that optimize the connection as you move across areas.
Wi-Fi Extenders/Repeaters – Devices that amplify weak Wi-Fi signals to extend coverage, often used to eliminate dead zones in large areas or multi story buildings.
Wi-Fi Access Points (APs) – Used in larger environments like offices or campuses, APs provide additional wireless coverage and allow for the scalability of networks.
Wi-Fi Adapters – USB or PCIe devices that enable non Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect wirelessly to a network.
Key Technologies.
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) – The latest standard, offering faster speeds, greater capacity, and lower latency in congested environments. It supports OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output), allowing for efficient simultaneous communication with multiple devices.
Wi-Fi 6E – An extension of Wi-Fi 6 into the 6 GHz band, offering less interference and even faster speeds for high-bandwidth applications like 4K/8K streaming and AR/VR experiences.
Wi-Fi 7 – The upcoming standard, expected to deliver even faster speeds, higher channel bandwidths (up to 320 MHz), and better performance in dense environments.
